Slope Intercept Form

Front

What is the Slope-Intercept Form of a linear equation?

Back

The Slope-Intercept Form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, meaning when x = 0.

Front

How do you identify a vertical line from its equation?

Back

A vertical line has an equation of the form x = a, where 'a' is a constant.

Front

How do you identify a horizontal line from its equation?

Back

A horizontal line has an equation of the form y = b, where 'b' is a constant.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises from left to right?

Back

The slope of a line that rises from left to right is positive.

Front

What is the slope of a line that falls from left to right?

Back

The slope of a line that falls from left to right is negative.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what type of line is it?

Back

A line with a slope of 0 is a horizontal line.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what type of line is it?

Back

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line.

Front

Convert the slope-intercept form y = 2x + 3 to standard form.

Back

The standard form is 2x - y = -3.
